Asking €30,000 but requires full renovation; at an estimated €700/m² for 110 m² that’s ~€77,000 renovation, so effective price ≈ €107,000 (≈€973/m²) versus regional median €422/m². The listing does not state the terreno surface, so the low asking price does not offset the high refurbishment cost.
More on the house and the area
A solid, intact two-storey farmhouse with a long balcony and wide vineyard/valley views — a peaceful rural setting. The house is habitable as a structure but requires full renovation to modernise interiors and services; excellent low-price opportunity for someone seeking a countryside project with land.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €39,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 56/100The cluster is in the inland Campanian hills around the Calore Irpino valley, with cultivated slopes and low ridges rather than a major mountain landscape. The Calore Irpino and the confluence area with the Sabato are the main hydrographic features within reach. Benevento is the nearest town of size, with a full range of services and a substantial historic centre including major Roman and medieval monuments. The area is known locally for old hill settlements and mixed agriculture of vineyards, olive groves and arable land.
